Where Every Pet Is Family
Full-service veterinary care for dogs, cats, and exotic pets in Durango, CO.
Our Philosophy
Veterinary Care That Puts Comfort First
At Paws & Pine, we practice Fear Free veterinary medicine. Every visit is designed to minimize stress for your pet — calming pheromones, gentle handling techniques, and treats (lots of treats) help the clinic become a place your pet actually wants to visit.
Dr. Megan Torres and Dr. James Whitfield bring a combined 24 years of experience in small-animal medicine, surgery, and exotic-pet care. We treat every patient like our own.
Comprehensive Pet Healthcare
From annual wellness checks to advanced surgical care — every service under one trusted roof.
Wellness Exams
Annual and semi-annual checkups with vaccinations, parasite screening, dental assessment, and personalized nutrition guidance.
Surgery
Spay/neuter, soft-tissue surgery, mass removal, and orthopedic procedures with full anesthetic monitoring throughout.
Dental Care
Professional cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery under anesthesia — supported by digital dental X-rays for full-mouth clarity.
Emergency Care
Same-day sick and urgent appointments during business hours, with vetted after-hours emergency referrals always at the ready.
Happy Pets, Happy People
“
My rescue dog was terrified of vets after years of neglect. The team at Paws & Pine spent twenty minutes on the floor with him before the exam even started. By the end he was wagging his tail.
Dog parent

Dr. Torres caught a heart murmur in our cat during a routine checkup. Early detection meant we could manage it with medication — he's doing great three years later.

We bring our two dogs, our cat, and our bearded dragon here. They handle exotic pets with the same care and expertise as dogs and cats. Hard to find anywhere else.
